Sigurnost predstavlja najosnovniju potrebu za sigurnost građana u lokalnim zajednicama. Zajednice se tesko snalaze i vrlo cesto se stice dojam da nisu u stanju pružiti adekvatne odgovore na narastajuci trend „hard nasilja“ (Bakic, 1999). U cemu je tajna ovog trenda, koji je najizraženiji u tranzicijskom zemljama. Tranzicija se može korelirati sa ovim osjecajem, jer ona podrazumijeva prelazak iz sistema „apsolutne kontrole sigurnosti“ u „demokratski sistem kontrole“. Da li je to uistinu tako? Ko su savremeni „drustveni higijenicari“ (Mlađenovic, 2000)? Kako građani percipiraju „službe za provedbu zakona“? Koliko vodimo racuna o kvalitativnoj selekciji u službe za provedbu zakona? Da li postoji BH profil službenika za provedbu zakona? Da li kriminolog i kriminalist imaju svoje mjesto u ovom sistemu? Sta je alternatva i cemu ona vodi? U ovoj prezentaciji, pokusat cemo korelirati sve ove dileme i podstaci drustvo da razmisli o tome.  --------------------------------------- Security is t...

The aim of this article is to establish whether there are unique neighbourhood level variations in worry about criminal victimization, independent of neighbourhood composition. An additional purpose is to establish the extent to which proposed mechanisms at the individual level, prior local victimization and perceived disorder, act as mediators of a hypothesized effect of neighbourhood level disorder. This article tested a model of the effects of different predictors on individuals' levels of fear of crime in the neighbourhoods of the Kosovo capital Pristine. In this research, the authors used an interviewing method conducted in the households of the interviewees. The population consisted of the adult (18 years old and more) inhabitants of urban areas of Pristine. The sampling procedure was a multi-stage random probability method. The selection process was carried out through the following four stages defined: (1) city areas, (2) streets or parts of streets, (3) selection of a household, (4) "next birthday "selection-key. The common Neighbourhood Disorder and Safety feeling model has shown that well-developed Neighbourhood social disorder have a positive although non-significant impact on the neighbourhood fear of crime in Pristine.. This does not come as a surprise considering that the people in the post-socialist societies are traditionally more reliant on their family and friends. The above trend was somewhat strong in Kosovo, because observation shows that nearly a half of respondents from Pristine live in households with more than five members while one fifth of them live in house- holds with seven and more members. Residents of EU capitals and capitals in the former Republic of Yugoslavia have greater tendency than residents of Pristine to mention everyday crime as one of the factors that feed their fears. The most serious objection that can be raised in relation to this survey is the application of the interview as the sole data collection technique. Most certainly, the inclusion of other techniques (Focus Groups, etc.) and methods would have achieved more valid results. The limitation of the factor models is that the input variables are mainly non-Normal Likert's scales. This means that the theoretical requirements for the application of the factor model are not fully fulfilled which consecutively reduces possibility to generalize the findings of the factor models further analysis using non parametric tools are the results of the factor analysis. In order to fully generalize the findings of the factor models, further analysis using non parametric tools are necessary. The police enjoyed the highest level of trust of all public institutions, which is maybe the most important for our study because the work of police has a direct impact on citizens' sense of security. Such results could have been expected in Pristine given that the police in Kosovo are controlled by the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) operation there. Trust in the police forms is good basis for study of other factors which influence citizens' sense of security, that is, their fear of crime at a local level. Keywords: Human trafficking

Reasons for writing and research problem: The purpose of this paper is to show the situation of child protection in Bosnia and Herzegovina most objectively. Aims of the paper (scientific and/or social): The paper is articulated around specific area of interest which includes the systems in place for the delivery of child protection services, related policies and frameworks, child protection education and resources management; data from research of the child protection workforce key skills, knowledge, and interests. Metholodogy / Design: We were used: semi-structured and in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. Field research was done in the period from July to October 2015 in Sarajevo, Banja Luka and Mostar in total, 3 focus groups were organized (1 with students of social work at MA level, 1 with managers/ trainers and 1 with child protection practitioners). Research /paper limitation: Three limitations have been identified in terms of this study. The first limitation is related to the complexity of the system as it is set up in B&H.

Data were collected during one round of interviews and focus groups with respondents who take up different positions in the system Results / Findings: Findings from the paper will provide a basic analysis f the education and training context in which child protection practices are delivered in Bosnia and Herzegovina and try to identify needs and opportunities for further professional development, training, and/or capacity building to strengthen the child protection workforce in the Bosnia and Herzegovina General conclusion: The results may provide significant insight into processes related to development of the child protection systems in the Bosnia and Herzegovina standardisation of services and quality control mechanisms in terms of human resources development. Research / paper validity: The results should allow a critical analysis of the needs and gaps to be addressed in order to offer appropriate support to professionals from different fields and disciplines in improving the quality of child protection interventions and response.

Forfeiture of property obtained through the criminal act is an inescapable segment of modern legal systems and its answer to criminality. This is especially common in cases of organized and other serious forms of crime. Not only that forfeiture exercised one of the fundamental postulates of every criminal justice system that no one can keep property acquired by criminal offense but is the most effective way to fight organized crime which main purpose is to gain property benefits. Undoubtedly, therefore, without the adequate system of criminal property forfeiture there is no adequate mean to fight this type of crime. Article deals with legal provisions implemented in Bosnia and Herzegovina, when it comes to this institute of criminal justice. The subject of the analysis are the provisions of the substantive and procedural criminal laws, but also the lex specialis regulations related to this field and applied in Bosnia and Herzegovina at the entity and level of the Brcko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A special focus has been placed on the problems Bosnia and Herzegovina faces today in the implementation of this institute. These are the complexity of the legal system, issues related to interpretation of property forfeiture legal provisions and new forms of forfeiture that are not known to earlier jurisprudence such as extended confiscation of property gain.

In this article, the authors examine how fear of crime levels vary depending upon the degree of quality of living conditions within neighbourhoods. Additionally, the intervening mechanisms that link the degree of living quality with the level of fear of crime within neighbourhoods of Sarajevo, the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina will be explored. Design/Methods/Approach: This article shows the impact which neighbourly relations and social (dis) organization have on citizens ’ perceptions of the so-called fear of crime. In order to measure the fear of crime in general, the authors relied on Van der Wurff’s model which has already been widely used in criminology and which is based on six vignettes describing six different social situations. The authors used a multi-stage random probability method to select a representative sample of households living in urban zones of Sarajevo. The sample population (N = 400) consisted of adult (18 years or older) inhabitants of urban areas com...

Inspiracija za rad i problem koji se radom oslovljava : Ozbiljnost jedne moderne države danas se sigurno  može mjeriti i kriterijem brige za djecu, ali i svesrdnim pokusajima zastite djece u svim okolnostima i statusima. Kompleksnost problema “nasilja nad djecom” kao pojave, neosporno ukazuje na potrebu za interdisciplinarno djelovanje, ali i za diferencirane drustvene reakcije. Tacnije, ovdje govorimo o intervencijama koje preduzimaju razlicite institucije zadužene za osiguranje osnovnih prava djeteta, odnosno o intervencijama koje zavise od oblika i forme nasilja, te od djelotvornosti akcija preduzetih s ciljem da se zastite djeca. Cilj rada : Osnovni cilj ovog rada je dobiti jasnu sliku o obimu i strukturi nasilja nad djecom i među djecom u domovima za djecu bez roditeljskog staranja u BIH. Metodologija : U ovom istraživanju koristili smo specijalno izrađene instrumente za prikupljanje podataka. Ovdje prvenstveno mislimo na upitnik za anketiranje djece u domovima za djecu bez rod...

Theorizing about the fear of crime is one of the main activities of contemporary research in the field of international criminology. The research on variations in fear levels has been dominated by sociological, socio-demographic variables, and social-psychological models of fear of crime. This article uses multiple regression techniques in order to examine these variables to compare fear of crime in two central European capitals: Ljubljana, Slovenia and Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sarajevo was found to be more fearful overall than ...

This article presents probably the most relevant piece of research conducted in the Slovene prison system. The study was a two year research project sponsored by the Ministry of Justice and carried out by the Institute of Criminology in Ljubljana. Along with a longitudinal study of the social cli mate of Slovene prison institutions, it evaluates the theory and practice of socio-therapy as a specific approach to the treatment of offenders. In this case the treatment is simultaneously focused on the offenders' social climate including the ...

Slovenia has made significant progress in the market sector in the past four decades. Relative to its neighbours in the region, Slovenia has increased its market base both in terms of production and consumption. Along with its economic growth, Slovenia has also experienced an increase in the employment of private security personnel along with developments in the public law enforcement sectors. Despite large increases in the growth of the private policing industry in the last few decades in the emerging markets, we know ...

This paper deals with the presentation of police activities and crime in the mass media. We carried out a literature review in which we focused upon the construction of a theoretical framework for further qualitative research of media reports about a selected case of police activity. The paper has two objectives: first, to find out how the media report police activities and crime and, second, to compare and contrast reports from different media. In this case we have focused especially on the media representation of police activities ...

ABSTRACT The aim of this chapter is to highlight the problem of the environmental degradation in Bosnia and Herzegovina from a criminological perspective and to define two types of "Green Crime" in contemporary criminology. There are four "primary categories" of green criminology in which the environment becomes degraded through human action all of which have become the subject of legislative efforts in recent years. These new categories are as follows: (a) crimes of air pollution; (b) crimes of deforestation; (c) crimes of species decline and against animal rights; and (d) crimes of water pollution. The secondary categories of green criminology can be found under the name of symbiotic green crimes. These are defined as crimes that grow out of the flouting of rules that seek to regulate environmental disasters. They include, for instance, state violence against oppositional groups, hazardous waste and organized crime. "Green Criminology" in South Eastern European Countries is still a very strong taboo. On paper, there are many legal and policy-related issues raised by green crimes, but in reality, these crimes are not considered important by the institutions of formal social control. This chapter is mainly based on the studies available in the field of "Green Criminology" in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Several case studies from Bosnia and Herzegovina will also be presented, which will illustrate the real extent of the problem of environmental crime.

Theorizing about the fear of crime is one of the main activities of contemporary research in the field of international criminology. The research on variations in fear levels has been dominated by sociological, socio-demographic variables, and social-psychological models of fear of crime. This article uses multiple regression techniques in order to examine these variables to compare fear of crime in two central European capitals: Ljubljana, Slovenia and Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sarajevo was found to be more fearful overall than Ljubljana. This difference may be explained by differences in the roles of the two cultures in the war of the former Yugoslavia. The current article focuses on differences in culture (e.g., status of women and self-estimation) as well as post-war conditions such as economics, social deprivation, and disorganization in order to explain differing levels of fear of crime.

The purpose of this study is to highlight the factors that influence police legitimacy in students’ eyes. More specifically, this study presents an empirical test and description of student attitudes based on prior experiences with the police and the criminal-justice system. This study aims at describing correlations between police legitimacy and the identified significant factors (procedural justice, compliance with the law, police effectiveness, moral credibility, personal morality, deterrence) which may determine legitimacy of the police. Furthermore, it is important to assess attitudes of students of the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Criminal Justice, Criminology and Security Studies at the University of Sarajevo about their cooperation with the police. The ultimate purpose of this study is to test various research hypotheses derived from the process-based model of policing. The findings may be used as a basis for the future related research in Sarajevo or Bosnia and Herzego...
